That makes it a lot more complex to implement filters, like IIRs.
Amazingly there are a few shadertoys which simulate 303s and do other audio magic. The demoscene are gods among men.
Here's a 303 audio shader. Click the rewind button if audio doesn't start on its own.

I knew you would be a fan πŸ˜‚
The "fun" thing about gpu audio is that it is all made in parallel, not sequentially.
So, if you have a free spinning oscillator with varying frequency, to calculate an audio sample at a specific time t, you have to (symbolically) integrate phase to output the wave form πŸ˜‚

I love books but is reading really doing all that much for you if it hasn't taught you not to characterise systematic societal issues as personal moral failings

Video shows masked Border Patrol agent chasing woman back to her Louisiana home Jacelynn Guzman said she is a U.S.-born citizen. The Department of Homeland Security said Friday that it "determined the individual in question was not the target."

"She said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen.

β€œI just kept repeating it β€” I’m a U.S.-born citizen. I was born and raised here. This is my home. My baby’s waiting for me...”

She screamed β€œLeave me alone...”

Angularbola

math question!

so I ran into a use case for this peculiar little thing

1. what kind of curve is this?
2. can the formula be simplified?
2. can it be expressed in y = f(x) form?

it's like an angular version of the hyperbola

ICE Goons Pepper Spray Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva During Tucson Raid | Common Dreams "If federal agents are brazen enough to fire pellets directly at a member of Congress, imagine how they behave when encountering defenseless members of our community," Grijalva said.

Congresswoman says she was shoved & pepper-sprayed after identifying herself during ICE operation. "β€˜When I presented myself as a member of Congress asking for more information, I was pushed aside and pepper sprayed.’" www.commondreams.org/news/adelita...

So I was feeling like I am completely unprepared to know how to respond as a bystander if I witness an ICE abduction, so I looked around for some tips.

Many state advocacy groups have a hotline you can call to report ICE activity. Florida's, for instance, is 888-600-5762.

Prisoners were stuck in a room filling with water. They were told whoever could reach up through the grating and reach the ball first would be freed.
That was of course a lie, but they did a laser scan of the event and 3d printed a model to commemorate it
